photo meme

Here are the rules:

1) Go to your picture folder wherever you store your pictures.
2) Go to the 6th folder and pick the 6th picture.
3) Post the picture on your blog and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4) Tag 5 other blogger friends to do the same and leave a comment on their blog that they've been tagged. I always leave this open to anyone intrigued by the meme.

If you do this one, leave a comment with the link in it.

Thanks LarryG :)

Tag I'm It

Lori at Reflections and Ramblings of a Not-So-Super Woman has tagged me! I'm happy I can at least amuse you quickly with this taggy goodness. Or try anyway.

Hmmm...7 random or weird facts...

1. I caught a greased pig at 4H field day when I was in 9th grade.

2. I loved to chew tobacco - but gave it up "completely" in 1995. I would never go back.

3. I like mayonnaise and peanut butter on my banana sandwiches. (So did Elvis.)

4. I sleep in the raw.

5. I do my own laundry. I attempt to keep my wardrobe free of things that have to ironed. I do have a couple of shirts that have to be ironed, sometimes I take them to the cleaners.

6. I feel extremely uncomfortable if I don't have a couple of twenty dollar bills in my wallet.

7. There is a favorite place I like to stop for prayer on my way to work. It is a prayer trail next to a church.

Okay, do I have seven people to tag? Here goes; ---
If you laughed at any of the above....
now be honest...
1. If you have a common weird with me - you are tagged "IT" and
2. You are tagged "IT", if you laughed, or giggled in the least, even if it was silently at any of my seven items :)
3. The Susie rule: If you are excusing yourself simply because you didn't hit on rule 1 or 2, then you are "IT"
If you have done this recently leave a link to yours anyhow...
(call me a rule breaker - you are "IT" for that too)
Thanks for tagging me Lori....

you could do this too

My passion is ...

faith, hope, love

I know too much about ...

(I'm not getting this) I don't think we can know too much... but I'll ponder

My parents always told me ...

'no one can take away your attitude, education, or salvation; those are always with you'

My childhood ambition ...

sports, computers, space (two out of three isn't too bad, and I enjoy sports, just didn't make it to the big time of sports)

My favorite memory ...

There was this time we were playing tunes on the porch of a house, there were birds joining in, it was quite miraculous to hear "nature sing"

Why I write ...

to crack the shell of ego and become transparent to me

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I've been reading blogs (see the right hand column), Oates, Rene' Girard, Updike, Bible, Manning, ten Boom; I have started the "Sarah Connor Chronicles" this month; Contemporary Gospel, Blue Grass, Traditional, Irish

My first job ...

US Army (odd jobs during school)

My best moment ...

Love and faith, coming from hope - the expression of these in many situations creates a life that is joyous, overcoming even in the face of extreme circumstance

My inspiration ...

grace that saves, sacrifice that nurtures, mercy that forgives, suffering that lifts up, love that empowers
